Assigned Seating?!?
Ok, so I am so confused. I originally thought that for the E-party, we were NOT going to have assigned seating. I did assigned seating for my Graduation Party and everyone just sat where they wanted to anyway.
However, I've started thinking more about it. Here are mine pros & cons:
The Biggest pro is this one: There are quite a few families of 4-6 people coming; the tables seat 10 each. I don't want them to show up and have to like split apart. And yeah, people could always move around, but what if there's no room left at ANY table for a family of 4?
The biggest con is this: It's time consuming, and if I'm going to do it, I want people to listen! Granted, the people know each other a lot better than at the Grad Party, so they might be more inclinced to sit where I make the settings for, but who knows!
We also want the E-party to be casual, so I don't know if assigned seating takes that up a notch. However, I really don't want families to be displaced!
If you think I SHOULD do it, I need to get place cards & table settings from somewhere. I'd like them to be island themed as well. I would like each table to be a different tropical island (since our party is Island themed) We already have centerpieces, so do I get like a sign or a stand or something?
Also, who do FH & I sit with? We couldn't fit me, him, his parents, my parents, and my siblings & their families at one table. So do we sit with the BMs and MOHs and their dates?
Also, there's a decent amount of kids 17 & under who I KNOW will want to be together. Do I make 1 or 2 kids tables or something then?? SO confused.
Help!!!!!!!
